SWT for Golfer's Elbow

🟩 What is golfer's elbow — and why it actually occurs

Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) is not a "sports disease," as many people think.
Yes, it often occurs in golfers, but even more often — in ordinary people who have never played golf.

The reasons are much simpler:

  • heavy bags in everyday life

  • working with a hammer or screwdriver

  • intense gym sports

  • manual labor

  • constant flexion movements of the wrist

  • prolonged computer work

Tendons become overloaded → micro-inflammation occurs → pain appears on the inner side of the elbow.

That's all the "magic."

🟩 How it feels

People often describe this condition as:

  • "My inner elbow hurts when I lift something heavy"

  • "I can't hold a kettle properly"

  • "It pulls from the elbow down the forearm"

  • "After training — acute discomfort"

  • "I feel weakness in my fingers"

What's especially unpleasant is that the pain doesn't go away on its own; on the contrary, it intensifies with repeated strain.

🟩 Why SWT works specifically for this problem

A tendon is like a strong rope.
When you constantly pull it in one direction, over time, the fibers "get matted," and micro-damages accumulate.

SWT acts like a targeted pulsed massage at the cellular level:

  • destroys micro-stagnation

  • relieves chronic inflammation

  • improves microcirculation

  • activates the tendon "repair" process

  • reduces pain that has lasted for months

It sounds simple — and it really works.

🟩 What happens during the procedure

A session lasts 7–12 minutes.
You lie down or sit, the specialist finds the pain point — it's usually very precise.

After that:

  1. An applicator is selected (most often 10–15 mm)

  2. A comfortable power level is set

  3. Pulses move along the tendon and forearm area

  4. Then, associated muscles that "pull" the elbow are treated

Sensations: light pressure, deep vibration, sometimes a pleasant warmth.

After the procedure, there is often a feeling of a "light arm."

🟩 Results of SWT for golfer's elbow

✔ pain lessens after just 1–2 procedures
✔ tendon inflammation decreases
✔ wrist strength improves
✔ sharp discomfort when gripping disappears
✔ the hand doesn't "tire" as quickly
✔ you can lift objects again without pain

✔ anyone who experiences pain when gripping or flexing the wrist

🟩 Contraindications (briefly and without medical risks)

✘ oncology in the affected area
✘ pregnancy
✘ acute infections
✘ blood clotting disorders

🟩 Why QT1001 shows excellent results

Because this device provides:

  • stable power up to 10 Bar
